Hard to find Asus Chromebox earns good reviews

How good can a $179 computer that runs a browser and web apps actually be? Better than you might imagine. Based on earlyreviews, the Asus Chromebox is a solid value for those who already have a monitor and can do the bulk of their computing tasks in Chrome OS.

We discuss the situation and try to figure out the case of the missing Chromeboxes on this week’s Chrome Show podcast.
